Italian illustrator Matteo Berton has a simple style we love. He manages to take frenetic scenes of cities and crowds and break them down into their constituent shapes – bringing some kind of order to the chaos.

When you’ve got a really powerful headache, it can feel like the world is going to end. The pain is just so much it almost defies explanation. Joe Public did a great job here, turning the idea around and finding metaphors that feel like the worst headache you’ve head – positioning Compral as the medication of choice when you’ve got a serious headache.

We love this campaign by DDB Berlin for Volkswagen’s keyless entry system. Using smart art direction and great illustration, they show the viewer how tough it can be to find your keys when your hands are full.

David Miami, the creative agency on this campaign, came up with such a smart idea to show the viewer that Burger King flame grills all their burgers: They found real photographs of Burger King restaurants that burned down – because of their flame grills.

Much in the way that Scottish and Irish whiskey (or whisky, depending on where you come from) has its own design language, so too does Japanese whiskey. We love the way this project brings that Japanese whiskey design feel to life.

This blend, Nikka Taketsuru, is made from the Yoichi and Miyagikyo single malts. And so the design incorporates both of their designs into a single whole, to show that this is a blend. Of course, the boxes themselves draw inspiration from origami and Japanese calligraphy. So smart, so Japanese and so desirable!

This premium whiskey is all about the finer things in life. With a bottle that is literally the shape of a gold bar, you’re bound to feel special when you drink it. And if that’s not enough – each individually numbered bottle comes with a removable solid brass coin that was minted at America’s oldest private mint.
